been achieved. He makes idle boasts but
brings the evidence to doors of his superior

enormous fees in advance and make great prom
Uses never to be fulfilled, which we are sorry to
say is too often the case with unscrupulOus pre-
tenders who come once and are never seen again.
On the contrary DR. Gage is frank and honest in all
his dealings and repeats his visits regularly as
others would do if they had confidence in their
ability to accomplish what they promise. Or.
Gage has scores of cases in midst like the fol-
